Gantz || phase 2 is go!!

[georgemarvin]

nishi seems autistic to me

he's like one of those kids who has a lot of factual knowledge but no imagination and no ability to cope with it emotionally
Nishi acts more like a shell-shocked war veteran who is hooked on the adrenaline rush of the battle. He reminds me of an uncle who served 6 years in Germany during and after WWII. He's still just a kid but he's seen hundreds of people die. He has killed hundreds of enemy alien soldiers, who are nonetheless intelligent beings. Most of them don't even want to fight. There's a good reason why 1/3 of all of the homeless people in this country are war veterans: when they go back to civilian life, they just aren't the same; they are suspicious, fearful, resort to violence first, don't make friends easily, feel naked unless they are carrying weapons, don't trust anybody, and sometimes have flashbacks.

It looks like Oku wrote Nishi as a child soldier who has seen horrors that most adults can only imagine. He has become cold, cruel and vicious just in order to survive.

yeah when you think about it, a lot of the things the people in gantz do arent really "correct" logically, strategically. i guess the author makes them do dumb stuff because it shows they are "only human" and are overcome by fear of the unknown and stuff like that

Just the opposite: Let's look at this with a view of human history in mind. They formed a team, figured out how to cooperate to bring down the game that they are hunting, figured out strategies, tested each other's abilities by training together, basically did exactly what hunting parties have done ever since humankind first climbed down out of the trees. Historically, people hunted mammoths and trapped saber-tooth tigers. They tamed elephants. Even further back, they made necklaces from cave bear teeth. They drove entire herds of buffalo and wild horses to their deaths with nothing more than wooden spears. Throughout history, they have hunted fearsome creatures which were much stronger and faster than they were. They did it by teamwork and planning, just the same as the current team is doing now.

Just by instinct, people know to cooperate to hunt down their enemy, whether it is for the winter's food supply or just because of a timer. They use whatever weapons that they have; somebody acts as bait, while the rest use an ambush. They set traps. Women are smaller and weaker, so they tend the wounded but can act as a warrior if necessary. It's been done millions of times, over the course of hundreds of thousand of years. Their actions as a whole aren't illogical.

Nishi's reactions are more logical for a soldier than a hunter: hide from the enemy until you have figured out a little of its strengths and whether it has some unknown abilities that might be dangerous. Let somebody else hit it first; if they succeed, fine. If they die, you now know how it attacks, and maybe its weaknesses. Attack from a distance, if possible. Use whatever cover that is available.

Contrast that to Kaze, who rushes in to hit something that might have lasers or radiation in its arsenal. In a real war, Kaze wouldn't last 10 minutes. But he would be great as a prehistoric hunter. Reusable bait.

Kei likes to fight just as much as Kaze does. He is just smarter.

Katou acts fairly logically, given the situation. He knows that failure carries severe penalties. He tries to protect other people, if possible. He's heroic, but he isn't stupid.

Reika keeps her head; when Nura-zilla was bearing down on the group, she tried to keep the rest of them from running and getting their heads blown off, then rescued the Old Man while Inaba just made a wild leap in desperation. She planned to keep the team out of combat during the Nuri hunt because the monsters were just too strong for them, and the Osaka team were much better equipped and experienced. That was logical. If two groups of hunters are going after the same herd of buffalo, the smaller group who had third-rate weapons would have to defer to the larger, stronger, better-equipped tribe.

Host Samurai didn't act all that illogically; he talked to one of the alien bosses, found out that he was giving off the enemy signal, so he was being tracked, just like the Oni aliens tracked the Gantz team in the last mission. He tried to ally with the two strong alien swordsmen, but when that didn't work, it was a matter of self-preservation vs. patriotism. He chose to change sides to save his own life, and that of his girlfriend. Since his own tribe threw him out, he has to try to make peace with the opposing tribe, even though he has killed some of their braves. If he proves his worth, he might become grudgingly accepted. It's in his best interest to try to make amends, since he has no other options.

[Nomeru]

Well, I skimmed through parts of it but o.o, very nice first post guy, you're welcome to post here in this thread at least as much as you like. I like the comparison to prehistoric hunters as well o.o, it all makes sense.. I had never really thought of it like that.

[Jinchuriki-san]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH


FUCK YEAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

KURONO IS BACK!!!!!!!!!!

Im glad he's back, but I hope he hasn't magically lost his fighting experience.

[Nomeru]

lol, how would that happen? his memories are still there :D from just before he chose number one it sounds like.

[•Sharingan Squid•]

I wonder...

Can you make a human army of those, who have gotten 100 points and left Gantz or died?
Of course you need 100 points for each of those, but picture 5 Kuronos. :awesome

[kunaitoe]

That's what I was thinking about!

To combat the increasing difficulty of the Gantz matches, they would have to revive everyone that ever died there or something along those lines and form some sort of crazy black suited army.

[Nomeru]

Heh, I doubt gantz would revive someone who didnt die but then again, kishimoto.. who knows.

I thought he meant we as in.. him, everyone there, and his old team with izumi, none of them know.

host samurai was gettin ready to pull the shank out :awesome


and this chapter was mehhh, but these chapters are important...i guess

[MaskedMenace]

Who is "we"? :O

That is odd.

http://dl01.mangashare.com/manga/Gantz/280/013.jpg

Here Nishi says I, which translation is the correct one?

[georgemarvin]

"We" evidently means the Gantz members from Germany, America, China and the other countries that Nishi mentioned in his website and conversation with Izumi. It would make perfect sense that he would have had contact with several of the other teams, since they would want to know what each other had found out about the impending catastrophe.

[Athrum]

In the japanese version he does say boku tachi, so it's we. As georgemarvin pointed he is probably talking about all the gantzers.

[Tayimus]

This chapter was short but very good IMO. I especially liked this part-

http://static.bleachexile.com/manga/gantz/280/Gantz_ch280_p008[Whatever].png

Lol, Kurono was about to Whup. Vampire. Ass. Hikawa knew it too, that's why he was getting ready.

And Reika is smart as hell-

http://static.bleachexile.com/manga/gantz/280/Gantz_ch280_p017[Whatever].png

Just by glancing at the countdown, she was able to calculate they have little more than a week. I had to get my pen and paper out to do that! :edu

And KuronoXKatou is not cool-

http://static.bleachexile.com/manga/gantz/280/Gantz_ch280_p007[Whatever].png

That is so gay considering Katou is blushing and all. Katou is gay for Kurono, it's canon. :notrust

And I just thought, even if no one tells Kurono Hikawa killed Akira, when he gets home he'll see the destruction. Kurono is sure to find his brother's head. When that happens there'll be hell to pay. :wtf

Actually, what do you all think is gonna happen with all the bodies around Kurono's apartment. Is it possible he could be blame for it? He was already suspected of being involved with Tae's disappearance...

[Severnaruto]

Lol, a trip to the prison for Kurono, and some male bonding?

Gantz has the best chapter covers.

Nishi is bishie, that sexy bastard.

Guaranteed, the 'katasrophe' will be the rise of nazi vampires, ala Hellsing, and we'll have Alucard as the 100-pointer.

[Nomeru]

Tae reappeared though heh, no problems there. I'm wondering about kurono's own dead body at his apartment <.<...

[georgemarvin]

Actually, what do you all think is gonna happen with all the bodies around Kurono's apartment. Is it possible he could be blame for it? He was already suspected of being involved with Tae's disappearance...
Actually, if you noticed, when Izumi died, his girlfriend just walked past all the vampire bodies covering the entire street, then didn't even notice HS coming at her with his sword. The TV news listed the deaths of Izumi, an old man that the vampires shot, and three police officers. It didn't mention the hundreds of other corpses lining the street. Evidently, the vampires were on the same invisible wavelength that the Gantz team are during missions. And Gantz probably cleaned the bodies up just like for a normal mission. Therefore, there will only be one body visible at Kei's house, his own. IF the original Kei is dead. After all, somebody checked his pulse in a hurry, since there were still enemies there, but that isn't exactly like if a doctor pronounced him dead. He may very well be in the local hospital with Tae by his side. In which case, I guess that Kei 2 gets Reika as the booby prize. And hers aren't anything to sneeze at. LOL

[Zaru]

Why the hell does nishi know about those things? :sag

[MaskedMenace]

Why the hell does nishi know about those things? :sag

So he will not be a waste of 100 points.:zaru

[AbnormallyNormal]

nishi knows everything zaru. he has been in the game for years and years, and he was on the legendary izumi squad ! he also goes online and made a gantz forum lol

[Nash]

Either really good research or, and that's what I kinda hope for, maybe..if the government's involved with Gantz, his father might be one of the higher-ups and that's how Nishi found it out :wtf


Or something like that >______>

[Tayimus]

Actually, if you noticed, when Izumi died, his girlfriend just walked past all the vampire bodies covering the entire street, then didn't even notice HS coming at her with his sword.

Umm...

http://static.bleachexile.com/manga/gantz/232/GantZ_v20_093.png
http://static.bleachexile.com/manga/gantz/232/GantZ_v20_094-095.png

You can clearly see in these pics Izumi's girlfriend is taking in the scene in front of his apartment building. Couple that with this scene-

http://static.bleachexile.com/manga/gantz/232/GantZ_v20_103.png

Izum's girlfriend is frantic calling, hoping that he isn't one of the dead bodies. And finally-

http://static.bleachexile.com/manga/gantz/232/GantZ_v20_107.png

I must admit, at first, I interpretated this scene as Izumi's girlfriend trying to save him because of her arms flung out like that. However, her not facing Hikawa kinda casts doubt over that. I'll just conclude that Izumi's girlfriend is just a stupid bitch for causing his death any which way. What the fuck is her name anyway? :sun

You might want to say that all the bodies were innocent victims, that's why Izumi's stupid girlfriend was able to see them, but...

The TV news listed the deaths of Izumi, an old man that the vampires shot, and three police officers. It didn't mention the hundreds of other corpses lining the street. Evidently, the vampires were on the same invisible wavelength that the Gantz team are during missions.

http://static.bleachexile.com/manga/gantz/233/GantZ_v20_128.png

As it is, I just assume that both victims and Vampires alike made up all those bodies. It can't be that only a few bystanders were killed and vampires can't be seen, otherwise there wouldn't be "many deaths".

And Gantz probably cleaned the bodies up just like for a normal mission. Therefore, there will only be one body visible at Kei's house, his own.

While this is altogether quite possible, I wasn't talking about the vampires in the first place. I was actually inquiring about the humans who tried to protect Kurono. The cops who were killed-

http://static.bleachexile.com/manga/gantz/235/GantZ_v20_148.png
http://static.bleachexile.com/manga/gantz/235/GantZ_v20_149.png

As if Kurono doesn't have enough with innocent victims in the first place, they're friggin cops to boot! With no one to take the blame, he's up shit creak without a paddle.

IF the original Kei is dead. After all, somebody checked his pulse in a hurry, since there were still enemies there, but that isn't exactly like if a doctor pronounced him dead. He may very well be in the local hospital with Tae by his side. In which case, I guess that Kei 2 gets Reika as the booby prize. And hers aren't anything to sneeze at. LOL

Quote for the truth. :quite

Anyway, I saw your first post. Pretty nice. And welcome to the Gantz Forums. :hi5

[AbnormallyNormal]

i dont think they're going to keep doing anything with the "gantz messed up so there are two bodies now" i think that only happened one time ever? and it was near the beginning of the story.

[Felix]

i dont think they're going to keep doing anything with the "gantz messed up so there are two bodies now" i think that only happened one time ever? and it was near the beginning of the story.

Time for it to happen again I guess

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

TIMER :WOW

[Tayimus]

i dont think they're going to keep doing anything with the "gantz messed up so there are two bodies now" i think that only happened one time ever? and it was near the beginning of the story.

To be completely honest, the main reason I want there to be two versions of Kurono is so the whole ReikaXKuronoXTae Love Triangle could be resolved quickly. :facepalm There could be one Kurono for Reika and one for Tae.

Although, I do see a possible plotline with it. It would be a good way for info about Gantz be let out to the public. I mean, Gantz can't possibly punish Kurono for telling secrets...to himself (could he?)! Gantz Kurono could tell Free Kurono all about the Aliens and the missions. Then Free Kurono tells the news stations so humanity could fully understand what it's been facing...

[Nomeru]

Do we know for sure that tae wouldnt like a 3some? I'm sure reika wouldnt care if tae was there.

[Tayimus]

No...I wouldn't like Tae in a threesome with Reika and Kurono. That'd just fuck up my awesome. :C

[Canute87]

Vampire boy got scared and drew his sword against Kurono who didn't even have a weapon. :lmao

[•Sharingan Squid•]

Vampire boy got scared and drew his sword against Kurono who didn't even have a weapon. :lmao

:lmao Good point thar :awesome

[AbnormallyNormal]

i wonder if we can see some other gantz teams soon. at least show us whats going on in osaka. and i hope that reporter does more stuff in germany

[•Sharingan Squid•]

Now the whole Gantz team has to train in the hyperbolic time chamber :quite

[AbnormallyNormal]

or at least find out how to obtain the oka suits

[Ashiya]

or at least find out how to obtain the oka suits

Oka went on several upgrades to get the mecha-suit, which meant quite a few hundred points.

[Nomeru]

I'm very disappointed

very very disappointed in all of you! What the hell have you all been doing?! I was away for 3 days, and we're on the same page as when I left! where's your gantz spirit?

[Coteaz]

Just read the whole series, and fuck, that Nurarihyon fight took forever.

Not that it was a bad thing...:LOS

[Agmaster]

Coteaz. It was a horrible thing. You johnny come lately. Now that Kei's back I give it one more week before I hop back in to see what I've missed.

[Severnaruto]

Telling humanity might be the worst thing you could do. You're either labeled a retard and a lunatic, or they all believe you and the whole world descends into panicked anarchy. I mean, if the world ends in seven days, I think I would like to... 'reclaim' some lost hardware from Best Buy for free. With a shotgun. Just in case.

[Nomeru]

Well, they cant really tell humanity, their heads would blow up still, probably.

humanity wouldnt be able to do shit anyways.

[Ashiya]

Well, they cant really tell humanity, their heads would blow up still, probably.

humanity wouldnt be able to do shit anyways.

Also, they are not equipped with the "alien" technology that Gantz provides, as well as the experience rugged Gantzers have from bloodshed and close shaves with death.

[Batman]

So how long is this final week going to last? 1 . . . 2 years? 3? :iria

[ti5i]

I'm very disappointed

very very disappointed in all of you! What the hell have you all been doing?! I was away for 3 days, and we're on the same page as when I left! where's your gantz spirit?

Ok whats with that picture its just creapy :O it freacked me out lol

[AbnormallyNormal]

so what do you guys think the katastrofe will actually be? and will it truly be the end of mankind? or is nishi just being too pessimistic and exaggerating

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

so what do you guys think the katastrofe will actually be? and will it truly be the end of mankind? or is nishi just being too pessimistic and exaggerating
Well it wont be nuclear war LOL

Mega Alien Invasion I'd say.

[piccun²]

Well it wont be nuclear war LOL

Mega Alien Invasion I'd say.

probably.

I wonder how the vampires fit in all this.

[Nash]

I want that German ball to open up...and then something huge comes out of it. Or several small things. Dunno. Or ufos. Or God. Who knows :argh

[AbnormallyNormal]

well the vamps seem to be able to communicate with the aliens telepathically? however now that they have those chips in their heads maybe not so much.

i wonder if there will be more communications between the gantzers and the aliens, like katou tried to do with nurari (he also tried talking to the hindu goddess alien too in the buddha arc, and it talked back a little). i still cant wait for more plot before the next mission, i hope we get shown that reporter dude and some other world gantz teams

[KuronoX54]

World War Gantz is coming

[Nick]

Man, Kurono is back! Finally!
Someone remind me. Is Tae dead or alive? If shes alive does she remember anything?

SO whats next, training arc? New weapons perhaps?

[AbnormallyNormal]

i think tae is alive. and i think she does remember most stuff that happeend with her and kurono, but i dont know if she knows anything about gantz, i dont thinks he does

[•Sharingan Squid•]

Tae is alive.

And wait. How long was Kurono dead again? Just for a few hours? :argh

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

Kurono Alien can not be beat.

[Tayimus]

Lol, Kurono Seijin...


I'm wondering just what the hell will happen once Kurono gets back to his apartment. Will he find his own body (surrounded by Vampire remains :awesome)? What will the cops say about the destruction? What about Tae? Is Akira really dead? What is that reporter going to say when he meets Kurono again, and Kurono doesn't remember him? Who? What? Where? When? Why? And How? :zaru :edu

[AbnormallyNormal]

i just want more panels of katou chilling with his little bro and crying all the time please

[Tayimus]

I'm sorry, I must be seeing things (I do need to get my eyes checked out), but it looks like you said you want to see Katou crying. With his brother, no less. Please tell me I'm wrong and you really said something like wanting to see Reika finally get Kurono in bed. :pek

















:LOS

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

Those are some un-manly tears you want :D:

[DELAHK]

Catastrophe...

I´d say it is like a "Battle Royale" between Gantzers teams around the globe.

Only one can survive...

[Agmaster]

Kurono's going to fuck their shit up in that case Delahk. Vampires, aliens, team USA....all merely medicore before fucking Kurono Kei's eyes.

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

Kurono > [insert your mightiest warrior here]

[Felix]

Kurono will arrive home finding it destroyed and with police investigations
He will then leave in Reika's apartment. Sex scenes ensue

[Frostman]

Tae probably found Kuron's dead body and hid it in her closet...for later...

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[Tachikoma_Pilot]

What do you have against his fatneck? :hmpf

Kurono needs to step up to the plate and realize that Reika >>> Tae.

dude Tae swallows xD that's nice

[Tayimus]

Oi, Oi, you guys are missing the bigger picture here. Though Reika is better.

Kurono is hugging Tae with his suit on. Has a civilian ever seen a Gantzer outside of a mission? I only recall the last time being Tae seeing them through her camera, and she got killed for it. It seems that there is no repercussions this time. Perhaps, Kurono can even tell Tae (Hell, the world) all about Gantz. This small thing could be quite a development.

And if Kurono is able to tell Tae everything, I can't see KuronoXReika ever happening... :cry

Kurono has used his suit outside Gantz missions before
Remember when he beat all those Fightclub guys? :P

[Tayimus]

Yeah, but he had his school uniform over it. Had they seen him wearing some strange suit that bulked up at times, Gantz most likely would have blown Kurono's head off. :argh

There are 7 days left...for Tae to die. Kurono x Reika will happen. It must happen. Please Oku, let it happen. I'll name my firstborn after you :argh

[AbnormallyNormal]

wow tae looks hot now, sweet. i hope other stuff happens in this chapter though besides people reuniting with loved ones

[AbnormallyNormal]

reika is too hot and famous for kurono. i wonder if she'll go with kaze, she probably likes her man manly and tough, yet with tender side for takeshi LOL

[Severnaruto]

So the real question is, does Reika swallow.

[Frostman]

She is gonna have to do allot more then just swallow, since looks obviously aren't a factor anymore to Kurono.

*cringes when he looks at Tae*

[Nomeru]

Man, I'm a little disappointed with the spoilers for this week :(

[Bluth]

Why do you all hate Tae so much, she made Kurono the epic hero that he is. No Tae - No epic Kurono.

Anyways isn't it nice to have the hero like a normal girl?

Don't get me wrong I wish Tae looked a bit older, and not so much like a loli, but their relationship is so nice and pure, and she's the one that makes Kurono happy.

Reika only likes Kurono because Tae made Kurono who he is.

Ah, thank you for posting those. I had totally forgot that instance, probably because it was Katou. I was going to say that it still proves my point that the rules have changed (since it happened after the Oni Mission) and people can see Gantzers even outside missions without any penalties, but I just remembered something. After the very first mission, Kurono had to go home in his suit because he gave his clothes to Kishimoto (:sun). They had to take a taxi also, so people obviously saw him. There goes my theory. :(

They should still try and blab about Gantz. :hmpf

Why do you all hate Tae so much, she made Kurono the epic hero that he is. No Tae - No epic Kurono.

I don't believe any of us actually hate Tae. It's just that a lot of us find her character a little boring, on top of her appearance. And to be specific (or otherwise, anal), Tae is only partly responsible for Kurono's character development. Katou was another factor. Also, Kurono was epic loooonnnnggg before he even met Tae. Hell, he was awesome even when he was Tae's height.

Anyways isn't it nice to have the hero like a normal girl?

Don't get me wrong I wish Tae looked a bit older, and not so much like a loli, but their relationship is so nice and pure, and she's the one that makes Kurono happy.

I appreciate the irony with Kurono's relationship with Tae. It is a bit refreshing that the hero picks a normal girl (she does look good with her hair down). But don't get me wrong, my criticisms in their pairing lie solely with Tae. While I appreciate Tae for her her part in making Kurono what he is, I just find Reika's character that much more interesting. Apart from the obvious physical attributes she has. Tae just seems to have barely any personality. No faults whatsoever.

On top of that, it annoyed me to hell that Tae had nothing to do with Gantz for so long. I remember hoping that she died and became a Gantzer, would've helped quite a bit in me liking her more. Still, I think Oku-sensei did that because he felt that for growth, Kurono needed a regular life to balance out his other. Tae represented that. I have to respect her. I still don't like her though. :sun

Reika only likes Kurono because Tae made Kurono who he is.

I must disagree here. IMO, Reika fell in love with Kurono more for his willingness to help others than his awesomeness. And that part of his personality was reawakened by Katou, not Tae.

If anything, Tae became the reason Kurono wanted to get home at the end of every mission, instead of him wanting to, in a way, show off. She gave him a pure reason to live, and to kill...

[Bluth]

That's fair, I mean Tae is the definition of plain, she could use a bit more character to her as she doesn't have much except for having a nice relationship with Kurono, other than that she just has the personality of being kind and nothing really else, she may have a little jealousy and fear that Kurono could be taken away from her, but I admit she needs more flaws like those.

Personally I find Reika to be just okay, I wish she had more to her character than just wanting to be with Kurono. She disappointed me in the last mission, she failed to learn from Kurono, she came back a little at the end, but still I was disappointed in her.

As for the impact that Tae had, I think she had a bit more influence than you are giving her. If it wasn't for her I have a feeling Kurono might have given up on life in general. He lost everything after the Buddha arc, he was alone in the world and Tae gave him a reason to live, he gave him a reason to go on.

It's the combination of Tae and Kato that made Kurono who he is. We all saw what Kurono was like during the shorty alien arc, he wasn't the same Kurono who was cool during the past two arcs, without Tae he would not have taken that next step, so really Kurono wouldn't have been the man that Reika now loves. So really I should have said that Tae completed Kurono instead of saying that she is solely responsible for his development.

Perhaps I'm being too hard on Tae, I am a little sleepy right now. :coffee However, I see it as Tae saving Kurono from himself. I understand that if not for her he would have turned into Izumi or Nishi. More anti-hero like. But I can say that before her, Katou kept him from going down that road. And because of Tae not bringing anything to the table as a character, makes it seem like anybody could have assumed her role.

It's the combination of Tae and Kato that made Kurono who he is.

its just me or did i missed a chapter from Gantz which have Tae in it? From the last chapter i read from bleach exile..it only shows how Katou revives Kurono and didnt say anything about Tae..

so did i miss a chapter here? :(

Isn't it that very chapter that Reika revives Tae for Kurono? She gave up her own freedom to give Kurono happiness.

[Mishudo]

^Wrong.
We're talkin bout the spoiler given so far.
Tae's in it.

[Wu Fei]

okay i'm new to gantz. I caught up. Does this shit release bi-weekly?

[Ooter]

every 3 weeks/irregular

[Athrum]

Don't mind him, Yeah it's bi-weekly lol

[Noiteru]

Does it get released (the RAW) this week or the next?

[Tayimus]

Next chapter's this week. Raw should come out tomorrow or Friday. Should have a good trans by Saturday.

[Mishudo]

So no more spoilers other than the hugging one? :(

[Tayimus]

I actually expected some more spoilers by now. :( But it's usually Nash who posts them here. I rarely find them, even at the sites she says they're are... :C

[Wu Fei]

okay thanks. best manga ever btw. its just so unconventional. A person would think that there was a main group of characters....but damn no ones safe in this one. (but the whole revival has made that a lil bit meh now).

i'm fighting not to look at above posts cuz its seem folks talk about spoilers without a care here.:apathy

yeah we used to put it all in boxes but there is a pretty small group of fans who post in here and so we sort of felt like the boxes were just not needed after a while. so i would be awawre of that before entering this thread lol

and yeah its every 2 weeks released. we usually get spoilers sunday or monday actually!!!! so pretty friggin early.

and i agree with you about what makes this manga the best, however i also agree it appears the author (oku) is toning that down somewhat what with so many surviving last mission and even reviving kurono :/

[Mishudo]

Sorry bout that.
Usually it's everyone who's caught up so it's not a big deal.
and the current spoiler we have isnt something you can really call a spoiler
like seriously,click this below,dead serious.
tae and kurono hug
it's not shocking or spoilerific at all Dx

NASH,DONDE ERES TU??

[Tayimus]

i'm fighting not to look at above posts cuz its seem folks talk about spoilers without a care here.:apathy

Yeah, we do spoil without a care. :awesome

I think most of us don't care; I just find it annoying sometimes. I do try to be considerate, though. :redface :(

[AbnormallyNormal]

i dont think its a big deal to get spoilered though

i mean, I WANT spoilers usually lol

Well...time to start reading Gantz.

[Severnaruto]

Lol, Gantz has the best covers. I certainly won't be reading it in class, though, don't want people to think I carry around porn on my laptop.

Seven days... on the seventh day, Kurono's going to ascend to the heavens and punch Jesus in the face. Or maybe he will be Jesus. He certainly has the resurrection thing down.

[AbnormallyNormal]

the cover is kinda weird, why would a gantz fighter have on a schoolgirl skirt?

lol calling nishi a middle schooler is nice touch

at least sakata did die on that mission, the only one though :mad

Thanks buddy! :)

[Bergelmir]

So I've been re-reading the Gantz series and I'm up to volume 17 now. And I've formulated a theory of sorts about what the shits been going on.

When Kurono's brother appears, he goes to that seminar, yeah? They talk about nanotech turning humans into vampires. And then when the vampire quartet show up, the morph their hands into guns and swords.

The aliens that the Gantz team has been chopping up have more or less all had some morphing abilities. And not all of them are alien-ish. The tentacle alien things in volume 17 act and talk like a bunch of teenage gang-bangers.

So here's my theory: the "aliens" are not aliens at all, but are actually beasts and humans that have altered by nanotechnology. Vampires are a subset, perhaps the most stable for humans, of the so-called aliens. The Gantz teams are put together to battle kill as many of the "aliens" until the Catastrophe. The Catastrophe itself is a war between the nanotech beasts(and who ever is spawning these bastards) and the Gantz teams.

As for Gantz, I'm guessing that part of Gantz's make-copies-of-dead-people is to generate people with experience fighting beasts and then store them in the database. So that when the war starts all the Gantz's around the world spawn a shit ton of those people in their databases. Its like building an army.



And now that I've written this out, it sounds pretty stupid. Oh well. :P

Thanks! :hi5

Is it me or Tae is becoming prettier ?

Unfortunately, no, it's not just you. I have to admit since Tae started wearing her hair down she looks a bit better. On top of that, the new style really makes her look less loli.

But Reika still looks ten times better. :sun

And Reika is wearing a skirt too :awesome

Reika wore the skirt before the mission started, when she and the others tried to rescue the Free Kurono. Speaking of Reika-

Did anyone notice it seems we get a glimpse at her home life? Now, that's awesome. :edu :zaru

[Frostman]

Maybe she is pregnant, i hear women become more vibrant when they are in love or pregnant. I doubt it though. XDD

[Tayimus]

No, it's true. I've seen some women who looked better when they became pregnant. All the extra weight goes to the right places. Man, I sound like a serious pig... :(

On topic, I would shit bricks if Tae was pregnant. And would it be possible? I mean something would happened with Gantz tranfering the original? Even if nothing went wrong with that, was she pregnant even before she died? Didn't she break up with Kurono like a month or two before the Tae Mission? Add that to the month since the Gantz Copy has been back, that's a possible 3 months. You're trying to tell me on such a small loli body like Tae's it wouldn't show? Especially with the uniforms they have to wear?

[Feh]

Hi there,

kinda new to the Gantz thread here NF so yoroshiku :beer

I just caught up with the series after having abadoned it for more than a year and have a kinda random question:

Everyone ever thought while the black ball transfers animals to the apartment?

I mean first we had the dog (whatever happened to him anyways?) and now we have the panda :sag

Is ist for the lulz or does it have some purpose? :headscrat

Also, did the animals die before they were transfered? Because I remember reading this chapter where they talked about the panda escaping from the zoo and that they finally found it somewhere else, so it didn't die but was transfered anyways?

Anywayz, Hoi Hoi rockz :pek

[Frostman]

Hoi Hoi died from hitting herself on the head to many times, said the databook.

And yea i think Gantz does it for the lulz.

[Lastier]

Is Kurono crying blood on the second last page? The poor guy has problems keeping his body fluids in control.

Seems like Tae underwent a few plastic surgeries in the meantime.

[Feh]

Hoi Hoi died from hitting herself on the head to many times, said the databook.



I didn't even know there was a databook:zaru

I think she's better off in the Gantz team anyways than in a cage, she seems to have quite some fun :pleased

Thanks for the info.


And yea i think Gantz does it for the lulz.

I have the feeling that everyone thinks so, myself included.

Hoi Hoi is the final villian:hmpf

[Athrum]

Really? Cause in the manga she died from jumping of a cliff. That kinda makes the manga at odds with the databook lol

[•Sharingan Squid•]

Hoi Hoi is a girl? :uwah

So Zaphood's sig was wrong :argh

[Nash]

Of course Hoi Hoi's a girl...explains why she's so awesome :del

[•Sharingan Squid•]

Of course Hoi Hoi's a girl...explains why she's so awesome :del

Now i can lust after Hoi Hoi and i don't have to feel gay :high :awesome

[Yammy]

Well I am currently up-to-date... and if I read correctly. Hoi-Hoi is the panda. Must be some inside joke or did I miss something?

[Ashiya]

Well I am currently up-to-date... and if I read correctly. Hoi-Hoi is the panda. Must be some inside joke or did I miss something?

Yes, Hoi Hoi is the panda, and a smexy one too. :hmpf


You go girl. :iria

[Red Viking]

Is it me or Tae is becoming prettier ?

It's not just you. I'll even dare say she's starting to look like Reika.

[Nash]

Now i can lust after Hoi Hoi and i don't have to feel gay :high :awesome
Yeah, but now it's me who has to feel gay ;_;
It's not just you. I'll even dare say she's starting to look like Reika.

Die DIEE!

Nah it's kinda true. Most of the girls would look the same if they had the same haircut. Except for Kiru Biru since she has different eyes lol

[piccun²]

Ho Hoi is now officially the most badass female of gantz.
And the sexiest too.

Screw Reika.
I know many of you would like to :hehee

[E]

what is going on here? where is the chapter?? :argh

no srsly, it's out? lol

kidding, reading atm

[E]

omg i almost cryed :cry


so sweeet :ohpek



she's gonna die so brutally, isn't she? :-(

[Frostman]

HaHaHa Kurono you big baby!!! :P

[Tayimus]

Speaking of Reika-

Did anyone notice it seems we get a glimpse at her home life? Now, that's awesome. :edu :zaru

Why did no one tell me I got Reika and Tae confused? I can't believe this, I thought that was Reika walking down the stairs and talking to that lady. It's unreal, Tae looks exactly like Reika did when she was introduced just without the breasts. :uwah

[Frostman]

Maybe Tae fixed her hair on purpose to look like Reika because... of those rumors... no wait...

[Tayimus]

So, I'm guessing KuronoXReika will NEVER happen? :D: Alright, but I wanna see a little of Reika normal life. I wanna see some development for her since she doesn't think she's that good of a person at all.

And hell, she should be a big target, considering she's a big movie star and all... :kool

[Bergelmir]

So I'm guessing by the recent chapter that its still the same night that the vamps killed Kurono? It seems like so much more time has passed since then. I was assuming a month or two.

[Athrum]

It's probably a day or 2 after

[Ashiya]

It's probably a day or 2 after

Just about the time where the news of Kurono's "death" was reported.

[Kraker2k]

So I'm guessing by the recent chapter that its still the same night that the vamps killed Kurono? It seems like so much more time has passed since then. I was assuming a month or two.

Its still the same night. Only a few hours have gone by.

Kei was killed by the vamps, then the team and the 2 vamps got teleported to the room, Gantz sent them to Osaka. There they fought the aliens for a few hours and when they came back Kei was revived.

So really not much time has passed.:amuse

[Bergelmir]

Thats... weird. And kinda makes his death pointless... I mean, it ultimately gets him back on the team along with the vamps. But it just seems a bit silly to me. Ah well, the manga is good enough that I can ignore that.

[Kraker2k]

Well yeah, but when he got killed his memory still had not come back, so he was still normal Kei.

The Kei we knew had been gone since that mission when Kurono, Tae and Nishi got revived and Kei got sent free which has been a month or so.

[Red Viking]

Its still the same night. Only a few hours have gone by.

That's what really bugs me. I mean, I know it's local, but you'd think all the news outlets would be so busy reporting what just happened in Osaka that this would be eclipsed.

Everyone's going about like nothing happened.

[•Sharingan Squid•]

Omg can someone update me...please..

[Frostman]

Its simple the Kurono thats alive now and the Kurono that died by HS are the same person yet they are not. Since the Kurono now doesn't have the dead Kurono's memories.

Remember the Kishimotto double? Its the same situation.

I remember kishimoto's double, but the double was already there when Kishimoto was called in by gantz.

But when was it ever mentioned that Kurono had a double ?

[Frostman]

My point is there was someone else with the same face living his life.

We are defined by our experiences. Since the Kurono that was killed had no memory of Gantz he would count as a diffrent person then the Kurono now. They are both Kurono, but they are diffrent Kuronos.

As for Kishimotto, its the same thing. There was a Kishimotto that was part of Gantz and one that wasn't. They are both genetically Kishimotto, but they are diffrent Kishimottos.

The only differences between the two is Kurono's double was killed before the other Kurono was revived. And Kishimotto's double died after it was created.

Right now, the question is, did Gantz clean up the dead Kurono's body or is it already at the morgue?

[pek]

The chapter after that would be good, because that's less than five chapters from where we are now...

He was hardly a character, we saw him speak for a few moments, after which he fought the monster and got severly owned.

Wow, that might be the worst statement said in this thread, to say that a character that we have known for only like 6 chapters is the only good character in the whole manga is just nonsense. Why do you even read the manga if you only like one character.

Also this chapter was not that bad, it's a transition chapter, as well as one which ties up a loose end.

[SasukeDefinesFail]

It's true, duh. Oka's few chapters were the best in the manga. It's just too bad that Gantz couldn't focus on an interesting team like Osaka.

oka didnt even have any personality

his huge mecha robot got easily trashed by a filler alien

Wait--what did I say!? Fuck that, let's talk about the BOOBS!!!

Lol, if we really need something to talk about, how about an old fashioned Who could beat Who Topic. Except this time instead of Gantzers we use the Aliens. Like could the Oni Boss (Raijin :wink) beat 1000Arms? How would 1000Arms' time restoration fair against Nuri's seemingly immortality? How would the Raijin's Sub-Bosses do against Nuri's Sub-Bosses?

who would win in a fight, the sniper dude from the buddha mission (wearing gantz suit this time, but still with his long range gun) or host samurai/blonde vamp? assume unlimited time and they're fighting like in a desert
Everyone knows me duh:zaru and Yea Tae!!!!!!!!!!!

Holy crap, i didn't even know about this series.

From now on i'm calling Gantz "Uncle Dudeball"

[KuronoX54]

I love Uncle Dudeball and Tae

[Ashiya]

Dude those weapons have huge delay on them, if you are fast enough you can keep dodging them forever. Host samurai blitzes and insta kills the sniper dude. :zaru

What he said.

HS is way too nimble and fast. He'll slice the guys head before he realizes it.

[Hapayahapaya]

Has Gantz ever shown the ability to teleport people without being killed first?

[mystictrunks]

Yes

That's how vampires entered the room, grabbed onto Gantzers as they were getting ported in.

[AbnormallyNormal]

if you think about it, why didnt izumi just use that method to enter the game? instead of pretending to be black and machine gunning hundreds of random civilians

[Hibari Kyoya]

Izumi was just blood thristy :LOS

PNJ much ?? :dupe

[•Sharingan Squid•]

Meh, he didn't know about it.

Either that, or he just likes killing and shooting and blaming it on black people.

[Frostman]

Didn't Gantz tell him to bring some new recruits with him too. And yea, Izumi didn't. His memories of Gantz was pretty vague.

[KuronoX54]

Meh, he didn't know about it.

I agree and, that's some Bs

[Belgianrofl]

Izumi said he wanted to gather up strong people for his game didn't he?

[Sigbin-Puti]

Izumi said he wanted to gather up strong people for his game didn't he?

he just wants to get back into gantz he didn't even care if everyone dies he was even disappointed to see a lot survived without the suits.

[Host Samurai]

Izumi said he wanted to gather up strong people for his game didn't he?

I'm pretty sure he even stated the Japan Team was shit compared to other teams around the world and he's only there because he's Japanese. I would have thought that he was a patriot if it wasn't for the fact that he slaughtered hundreds of Jap's while disguised as a black guy.

[Lastier]

Is there a Gantz chapter this week? I haven't seen any spoilers in this thread on the weekend.

[darksage78]

[Nomeru]

gantz 282 low quality raw: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LQ2JEDGQ

edit: grr, it's only 11 pages..

I cant read it, but looks like kurono gets beat up by someone oO..

[Felix]

Nothing fucking happened :(
Rage
Chapter is way to short

[Jinchuriki-san]

Page count has been dwindling for the past couple weeks. I wonder what's up with that... Could Oku be in bad shape?

Nah, he's just been lazy since Phase 2 started and wants to drag this out as long as possible. Look at how freaking long the Osaka Arc took yet the score for the team was pathetic [due to the fact that all they did was stand and walked around like retards for 3/4 of the arc].

[AbnormallyNormal]

hey wow it looks like its a new character with a gantz suit kurono meets when he's walking around with the suddenly-gorgeous tae

[Mat®icha]

basically chit-chat this chapter.

[DELAHK]

School drama?

No way...

[Athrum]

That was a slow chap. At least Kurono didn't beat the guy to a pulp xD

[mystictrunks]

Someone who can beat Kurono down? Possible new Gantzer to fill in for Izumi.

[DominusDeus]

Just caught up with the latest 12 or so chapters. The Nurari arc was fucking amazing.

[Hibari Kyoya]

11 pages new chap? no way :uwah

[Nash]

That's the price we have to pay for improved art D: I want Chubby Cheeks Kurono back and 25 pages :[

[UchihaItachimk]

was Kurono without suit ?

[Mr. Stud Muffin]

bullshit chapter...

How the fuck did the editor(s) approve this??? :facepalm

[Nomeru]

lol, I dont think that's the whole chapter, if that makes anyone happier.

[KuronoX54]

Oh wow! you're back too>?

[AbnormallyNormal]

i wonder what gantz team this new guy is from

[KuronoX54]
